New Study Confirms: People Aren’t Born Gay
The biggest study to date regarding the genetic basis of sexuality has shown five spots on the human genome that are linked to same-sex sexual behavior — however, none of the markers are reliable enough to predict one’s sexuality reports the Nature International Journal of Science.
The findings that were published on Thursday, were based on the genomes of almost 500,000 people, support the results of earlier, smaller studies while confirming the suspicions of a lot of scientists: although sexual preferences possess a genetic component, no single gene has a significant effect on sexual behaviors.
“There is no ‘gay gene’,” said lead study author Andrea Ganna, a geneticist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
